Just a quick question.

I was at the gym today doing the shoulder and calves bit of my 4 day split.

For should press i have been doing 15kg (db) for a couple of weeks now so i thought i would go for the 17.5. I warmed up on the 15's and did 8 then did 8 on the 17.5s. On my 3rd set i only did 4 reps.... next week shall i go back to 15s?? its really disappointing when you complete one set and then fail on the next..


cheers for any help
 
Thats not a bad thing, nothing wrong with only completing a few reps.
Do the same again next week, maybe warmup on 12.5 then 15 then 17.5. Just keep progressing, aim for 5x17.5 next time :]
 
Had my first session back in the gym today, and it was so hard after 7 months. Done chest + triceps and im aching already, i cant wait to have that feeling of really aching tommorow and the next day.
It was a good session overall except that it took my body a long time between sets to recover, felt really good to be back in there, even though at the moment I cant go 100%. Kept the reps high and try to build on my form and make sure im doing everything properly.
Still it was embaressing to only be using 25k dumbels for flat dumbell press and struggling after 10 and failing on 12:o

That's the one I use, the cranberry is the best ;)
 
Back day hurts my hands like hell, deadlifts especially. I'm such a pansy.

Took my trainers off for the last two sets of deadlifting today and it helped a little bit, less far to go up. Plus, makes me look more hardcore :cool:
 
i got the ultra fine oats from MP a while back...still have loads left, dont use it often, but they are very good, when i dont have time to make a meal, i just whack some whey and ultra fine oats into a shaker, then i can jus add some water and bam protein+carbs, no way would i have time to blend it myself etc. They are very good when mixed with water

Don't have time?! It takes about 3-4mins to make 2kgs. Still not got time? ;)

@Liverpool-Lad: Get some nice fat oats (tesco organic as suggested by CW work well) and put them in a dry blender (I usually go 500gms at a time), put the blender on full power and stand back as the oat powder/flour is created before your very eyes :eek::D You might need to push a few of the hangers on into the middle but other than that its totally automated process
